The loises in many instances are almost past belief, and as many sales reported from London lately show a drop of from 33 to 47 per cent, on prices realised for counterparts early in the season, the winding up of this season promises to beat the record of bad times, Many native middlemen who com. menced last season with fair capital havo become bankset:
